The Temple teaches functional truth.

By this is meant that the Temple provides the personal techniques and
understandings which, when applied, cause the individual to create
change in his life and establish the experiences he desires.

When the Temple teaches that there is not just one single objective
universe, we mean it.

When the Temple teaches that all experience is real, we mean it.

But what does this imply?

First it means that there is not now nor can there ever exist only one

Second, it means that you have the potential to skip from world to
world, thereby entering a universe in which the history itself is
different.

Third, it means that if you consciously skip worlds, you can

consciously choose the one that has the kind of future you prefer.

The Higher Teachings of Vampirism, as embodied in the final four

bibles, expand on these issues. Those of you who seem to not yet grasp

The female Vampire has incredible flexibility here beyond the simple
male authority symbols we have thus far discussed. Whether young or
old, slim or heavy, lovely or disfigured, the woman retains incredible
control over the man in our society if she recognizes what it is that she
needs to do and not do in various situations. Perhaps one of the finest
detailed accounts of the use of feminine wiles to achieve personal
power is found in the classic book The Satanic Witch by Church of
Satan High Priest, Anton Szandor LaVey.

In essence, it is critical for the female Vampire to accentuate the

personal power of cultural sexual signals to manipulate the almost
instinctual responses of both men and women. Our current popular
culture denigrates the woman who stresses her sexual attractiveness
through provocative dress, cosmetics and bodily movement.

Women often make the error of trying to please their personal sense of
beauty instead of doing what lures and controls men as well as
intimidating other women. A simple guideline for the female Vampire
is to reconsider the power in looking more like a "slut". After all, by
decoding the inner meaning of the word "slut", we see that this term is
most commonly used by culturally "normal" women to denounce the
powerful female who is willfully using sex to entice and enslave men to
her will. The traditional term for this kind of woman is also,
interestingly enough, a Vamp.

Thus, the personal power of the female Vampire comes through sexual
manipulation more so than through dominance manipulation as used by
the male Vampire. This is, of course, because the human species
retains its primate programming for male dominance competition and

Aging is a disease.

Curiously not one word is breathed nor written regarding the possibility
that, as there exists progeria (early aging and death through genetics),
there could also exist antegeria (extended life without death through
genetics). No one speaks or writes of the possibility there are, and have
always been, some of the human stock born not to age but, instead,
born to immortality.

against Rome was designed to unify his people under the Goddess,
Tiamat, in Her aspect as Isis, Whose priest he was.

With John's capture and execution, the twin kingly priests, Yeshua
(Jesus) and his brother James (the Just) struggled with each other to
take John's place. Their internal power struggle caused the rebellion to
fail. Many in the Family held Yeshua to be the primary offender as he
refused to step down before his brother, the legitimate heir. The
Templar practice of trampling the cross underfoot carries many
meanings, this being only one.

A future article dedicated to the origins of Christianity will detail the

events and figures more fully, but it is important to first understand that
it was John's failure to re-establish the worship of Tiamat as Isis by the
Hebrews which lies as the key to understanding the Knights Templar,
the force behind the Renaissance and the creation of the Freemasons,
Rosicrucians as well as the century of democratic revolutions,
American, French, Russian, etc.

Documentation to this effect by the hand of Yeshua and James is

presently concealed in the Rosslyn Masonic Chapel in Scotland. These
early writings of the Jerusalem Church were the primary secrets
recovered by the Templars following their excavations under the site of
the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem as ordered by the Family.
